A gear swap to 410s would put you around 6k rpms thru the traps which is alot closer to your peak power then prior. This will pick up mph and et, it will also help with your shift extensions. > > what is up with the aborted pull? is that how lean the car was prior to any tune? if that is the case how long was it this lean for? have you done a compression check, that is seriously lean and if it was ran that lean for any amount of time under wot if could of possibly hurt the motor which could be why the mph of the combo is so low for the mods [this being worse case senerio] compression check is about 20 minutes worth of piece of mind Im not exactly sure what rpms Im sitting at at the traps. Ill keep in mind to look next time I run. Id like to keep the 3.42s since its first used as a DD…second as a drag car. Yes the first run was aborted cuz the car was running too lean for his liking. Youd have to ask Laura how long it had been like that…but I know I had ran it at wot a good many times before I had it tuned. Whether it hurt the motor or not Im not sure. > [@Cloverfield gets motion sickness warning](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/cloverfield-gets-motion-sickness-warning/42294/4): > > Id expect that combo to produce 420 rwhp on dynojet, now unless something is holding the power back like cat back or headers. > > with having 342s and the converter locking it will deffently hurt the mph and et since his rpms are way below peak, so in this case unlocked will result in best results for the owner. a swap to a shorter tire will help for track, something along likes of a 25" will help with afew rpms but car is deffently down on power IMHO. It has Pacesetter Headers, Texas Speed Y Pipe, and a Corsa Catback. I dont think that his holding back any power. I was having problems with the muffler for awhile. I think one or two of the baffles had fallen over and were rattling around especially on cold starts it was the loudest. I beat the side of the muffler, and it has since gone away. But Im not sure if thats holding power back. The exhaust seems to flow fine out of the tips so I dont think anything is restricting the flow. > [@Portable Propane Heater at Home Depot for $69.98](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/portable-propane-heater-at-home-depot-for-69-98/42282/20): > > im sure once all the bugs are worked out in driver/car/track it should run its times. I think and hope so too. I think experience is the big thing Im lacking here…especially track time. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/11s-or-bust-stippy17s-00-ta/205007)._
